Figure 2 is an'end View. Figure 3 is a plan view. Figure 4 is a view of the table in folded condition.

Figure 5 is a view showing the table in vertedand containing a case.

Figures 6 and 7 are sectional views taken transversely through the seats and showing difierent means for detachably securing the supporting legs thereto. 7

In these views 1 indicates a table top and 2 the legs thereof' The table top is formed in two sections which are hingedly connected together and each section ismade in the form of a boX with its bottom open. The legs 2 are pivotally connected with the depending flanges of the top, as shown at 3, so that they can be folded within the top when desired. Seats 4 are provided for the table, each seat having hooks 5 on its inner edge for engaging pins 6 011 the table legs. Each seat is also provided with a pair of legs 7 which are foldable. .A case 8 is arranged to fit an automobile.

within one of the sections so that various articles can be placed therein and then the other section can be folded upon the first to cover the case 8. The legs are folded within the sections and the sections can be strapped together by the straps 9 to which a handle 10 is connected. The seats can be placed against one side of the folded table top and held in place by the straps. Thus the de vice can easily be carried from one place to another or placed on the running board of i Various articles can be placed in the table top, such as kitchen utensils and the like.

pivoted supporting legs forming part of each seat and adapted to be folded in parallelism therewith to allow said seats to be strapped at the side of the casing when detached from the legs thereof.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
